Surf at La Lancha from Sayulita: board fitting, a guided lesson, and hours on beginner waves with transport included.
“This experience was exactly what I was hoping for. The beach we went to was not too far but far less crowded than in Sayulita and the waves were perfect. There were maybe 10 or so in the group total but not everyone did a lesson. I was glad the lesson was just me and another student to one instructor, plenty of personalized attention and the instructor was very mindful of our different experience levels and capabilities. I really enjoyed hanging out on the beach after and talking with others in the group too. By the end of the day we were all surf buds. Very much recommend!”

Thanks Rodrigo!! I also rented a board with the same company at another surf spot (La Lancha) super easy and had a good selection. Would not hesitate to go with them again. 🤩”

“What a fun experience for the family it was me and my two boys (13 and 11). Ceasar was our coach for the time and he made it very easy for the three of us to all catch a lot of waves. As we were beginners being able to surf by the end made it a ton of fun. It did get busy by the time we ended. Also there were multiple people who just rented a surf board and were out there without a guide that we never saw even catch a wave. Highly recommend getting a coach.”
